Cohort-based Course

In an era defined by automation, noise, and algorithmic influence, your story is your strongest signal - learn how to lead with it.

Course overview

Create a personal brand that doesn’t just survive the AI era, but leads in it.

AI is here to stay. The real question is how you make yourself visible in a world where algorithms, automation, and endless noise dominate. The answer lies in building a brand that starts with your story and grows into a strategy you can sustain.


We begin by working on the foundations of your narrative. You’ll learn why stories cut through better than any algorithm, how to use frameworks like the ARC Method (Authenticity → Resonance → Credibility), and how to turn your lived experiences into leadership themes that resonate. Along the way, you’ll define your values, identify your archetype, and develop a brand compass that gives you a clear direction.


What makes this course different to others focused on building your brand?

We teach you to use AI as an amplifier for your authentic voice while giving you a framework to keep your brand evolving over time.


AI as an Amplifier

We’ll explore how AI can help without replacing your voice:

- Refining tone, identifying themes, and repurposing content

- Tools for planning and scheduling so you can stay consistent

- Ethical guidelines to ensure your brand feels human, not automated


Planning for Evolution

Your brand is not static. We’ll close with:

- A framework to refresh your story as you and your industry change

- Ways to listen to your audience and adapt your message

- Practical exercises to test and refine your approach over time


By the end, you’ll have built your own Brand Playbook, which includes:

- A purpose-driven narrative rooted in your experiences

- A set of values, an archetype, and a brand compass to guide decisions

- Clear messaging pillars and a channel strategy that fits you

- A 30-day action plan supported by AI tools

- A framework to evolve your brand over time


This course is about helping you show up consistently, communicate with clarity, and build a brand that feels unmistakably yours—even in the AI era.
